Gear

I have a strong interest in desktop building, and when I grow up and have the money and ability, I hope to build my dream desktop.

This post is inspired by Jeff Su (opens in a new tab). The products are not necessarily the latest and greatest of the day, but they are products that make my life better.

What's on my desk?

• DeskMeet X600 (opens in a new tab): Usually I use it for gaming, or for software that must be used with Windows OS
• MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) (opens in a new tab): I use it for work, I usually use it for programming, and I also use it to run Linux OS
• iPad Pro (M4) (opens in a new tab): I usually use it for online meetings, or as a laptop when I'm traveling, to temporarily send and receive company emails, or for simple tasks
• iPad mini (A17 Pro) (opens in a new tab): Honestly, this is my favorite electronic device at the moment, the screen size is just enough to hold in one hand, other than that, it's the best choice for playing video games, reading e-books, or catching up on TV shows
• iPhone 16 Pro (opens in a new tab): I use it for daily communication, and I also use it to take photos and videos
• Apple Watch Series 10 (opens in a new tab): I use it to track my daily activities, and I also use it to track my sleep, and I also use it to track my heart rate when I exercise
• AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation (opens in a new tab): I was using the AirPods Pro 1st generation in the office, and honestly I was waiting for the AirPods Pro 3rd generation to come out, but I bought the AirPods 4 on impulse, and after using it, I realized I couldn't go back, and even though it doesn't have the better active noise cancellation features of the pro version, it's good enough to use at home
• Samsung 4K ViewFinity S8 monitor (opens in a new tab): Nothing special, just two 27 inches screens. The only thing that makes it special is that it's a 4K screen, so when I use it with my MacBook Pro, the resolution is just as good
• Keychron Q1 Max (opens in a new tab): The main reason for choosing this keyboard is that there are not many keyboards with nice Mac keycaps, and then I wanted to have Bluetooth support so that I wouldn't have a mess of wires on my desk. After choosing between many brands, I finally considered Keychron, and went with a red switch keyboard
• Logitech MX Anywhere 2S (opens in a new tab): There's nothing special about this mouse, it just looks good and is easy to carry around
